In 2012, the Warriors recorded a 13-3 record, advancing to the Northeast-10 Conference final for the fourth consecutive season. Junior Corey Lunney (Little Silver, NJ) led the Warriors in scoring for the third consecutive season and was named NEILA Player of the Year along with being named first team All-American.
